TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON LABOR AND HUMAN RESOURCES REGARDING THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT JUNE 22, 1989 I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY AS A PARENT OF A CHILD WITH A DISABILITY, AS A FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE HANDICAPPED, AND NOW AS PRESIDENT OF A COALITION FURTHERING MEDICAL RESEARCH, TO DISCUSS LEGISLATION WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD BE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY OF THE 101ST CONGRESS: THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. THE 43 MILLION AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH TO BE EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR YEARS THIS COUNTRY HAS MAINTAINED A PUBLIC POLICY OF PROTECTIONISM TOWARD PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. WE HAVE CREATED MONOLITHS OF ISOLATED CARE IN INSTITUTIONS AND IN SEGREGATED EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS . IT IS THAT ISOLATION AND SEGREGATION THAT HAS BECOME THE BASIS OF THE DISCRIMINATION FACED BY MANY DISABLED PEOPLE TODAY. SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL. IT WASN'T FOR BLACKS; IT ISN'T FOR THE DISABLED. Page 1 of 66 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu -2- IT ' IS TRUE THAT, OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS, WE HAVE BEGUN TO ALTER THE DIRECTION OF PUBLIC POLICY. WITH THE ENACTMENT OF SEC. 504 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973, CONGRESS SAID THAT NO LONGER WILL FEDERAL FUNDS SUPPORT OR ASSIST DISCRIMINATION, AND LAST YEAR WE REAFFIRMED THAT COMMITMENT IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS RESTORATION ACT.

  • Danbury Prison Fire: What Happened? What Has Been Done to Prevent Recurrence
    REPORT BY THE Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES ' The Danbury Prison Fire- What Happened? What Has Been Done To Prevent Recurrence? GAO reconstructs the events of the morning of July 7, 1977, when a fire at the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connect- icut took the lives of five inmates and in- jured many others. The report discusses the fire's origin, the activities of correctional staff and inmates, the factors contributing to the tragedy, and the actions taken by the Bureau of Prisons to investigate the fire and make improvements GGD-78-82 HE~QC~~~~CKOZJF~~~~~ ~AUGUST 4, 1978 COMPTROLLER GENERAL'S REPORT THE DANBURY PRISON FIRE-- TO TOE HONORABLE ABRAHAM WHAT HAPPENED? RIBICOFF AND THE HONCRABLE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO LOWELL WEICKER, JR. PREVENT RECURREPNCE? UNITED STATES SENATE DIGEST GAO was asked by Senators Ribicoff and Weicker to investigate the objectivity, accuracy, and completeness of the Bureau of Prisons investigation and report on the July 7, 1977, fire at the Federal Correc- tional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. The fire killed five inmates and injured many others. The Bureau of Prisons had convened a Board of Inquiry composed of Bureau personnel, none of whom were experts in fire safety investigations. This raised questions re- garding the Bureau's objectivity and ability to effectively investigate the Danbury fire. Subsequently, the Connecticut chapter of the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People reported that institu- tional staff members did not adhere to estab- lished policies and procedures during the fire. (See chs. 1 and 5.) GAO found no evidence that the Board of Inquiry was not objective in its investi- gation of the fire.
